Pray no grief comes soon intrude-

The wife wandered out in the nude
So our neighbour thought he'd intrude
They lay down to dine
à la 69
You'd think neither one had tried food!...

Take a solitary walk by the lake,
An appreciation for nature it will awake.
Even unsettling thoughts do not intrude.
Your own company can put you in a good mood....

Love
You're quiet...
whenever words would just intrude
You're wisdom...
for you listen to a mood
You're gentle...
when you open the naïve eye
You're responsive...
to each soul's cry
Life Is Worthwhile Because You Exist...

Dancing on the fringes
waltzing through the fire
Tango once the step of choice
driven by desire

Life a dark flamenco
words to not intrude
Motion trumping conscious thought
—foxtrot interlude

i have tried to say goodbye
but its hard to say it to you

I can do so much better than you.
I don't know what I'm putting myself through.

I don't know what I'm fighting for.
And I dont know whats happening anymore.

I don't know what to say to you.
How can you just come into my life and intrude....

Virtue

I wish
I could write
A love song
From the heart
About a mountain stream,
Were cynicism
Dare not enter
Not intrude
As sarcasm
Is banned
Sorry to say
Cannot have lived
That long
I know when hearts
Cries
For the loss
Of innocence...

Endeavours often hovers in my thoughts 
Only for detours to persistently intrude
My mind, suspending my unexpressed
Frame of mind on a itinerary’s facade.

At a crossroads which way to reverse it’s
Directions, to turn and make a u-turn
On this avenue of distractions....

The wheels of time frozen, the vines intrude

weathered enclosure whispering tales of yore

resplendent in the setting sun, a majestic edifice

I lay awake as your hands haunt me,
In my mind everytime I close my eyes;
Every happy thought is tainted,
By the way I cannot move on,
From the departure of myself,
As you took me from me;
Now every time I close my eyes I'm haunted,
Ghosts intrude upon the life you took from me....

Foggy mists engulfed the bright
When raindrops fell throughout the night
The lamppost glowed at midnights dark
When sweethearts kissed at Lover’s Park

Soft oily rainbows slowly flowed
Beneath our feet as movement slowed
For naught but nature could intrude
Into this lover’s interlude...

WIDE AWAKE

when sleep evades me
I find no comfort in dark
my bleak thoughts intrude.


COUNTING SHEEP

midnight is no friend
hearing clock tick time away
counting sheep no luck.


SLEEP at LAST

held in dark embrace
the night invades my senses
now I surrender....

Brood, the mood, infused by thoughts rude
And yet we trauma bond
Time’s now to change our attitude
And love’s the magic wand

Delighting in joy’s sneeze
Presence obtains release 
From our thinking disease

Thoughts intrude
Brood, the mood

I pray the courage to speak aloud
And wish my heart to be not proud

Daydreams intrude on my every thought
Anxiety builds, my mind is fraught

My heart speaks volumes, mouth is mute
Thoughts are rich, actions dilute

Admired from afar but never approached
Will my love for you ever be broached?...

allusion, change, creation, senses, sunset, symbolism, word play,

Life's Exemplary Shadow Play
Life’s
Exemplary Shadow Play

Sunsets into sunrises
Spell the dense forest
Manifests the faction
Hidden and made still
Changes evoke mystery
A mood is now noted
For the keen watcher
Who dares to intrude!...

Morning fever from a sleepless night 
Soring eyes against the light 
Throat that sores from barking strong 
The yesterdays out in a song 

Here I stand I feel the heat 
That tries to surge my deep heartbeat 
While prying eyes try to intrude 
Them who are rough and crude

Word-hoards fall from mouth-cups
out along roads, out along seas:
faith migrates; sayings run away; verbs escape; 
nouns meander as memes in other tongues.

Invaders’ words intrude on empires, spill 
cream that soaks our souls, leave 
bones of meaning
lying around.

Etymologists 
will tour 
and devour.

Through the rough times
When my ship buckles
In a troubled sea, 
Or my feet stumble
Across the desert sand,
When my mind floats free
Of solid land,
You come forth 
To comfort me.

I hold the peace
Of loving you
When all else
Fails to reach.
The world in chaos
Cannot intrude
On lessons
Love does teach....

Atmospheric grayscale mirrors my mood
where rainbow pastels are loath to intrude,
monochrome perverse looms ‘cross universe -

black powder train, mind is gun barrel gray
cold dispassionate muzzle of dismay.
My happiness; my death will reimburse -
lifeblood bleeds an anemic attitude.
